0-60 times on a 1.8 Turbo....13.2 seconds....Help!

[Godzilla]

1999 AGU 150BHP.

Since I got her last week I thought she was lacking power so have done the following.....

New spark plus
New airfilter
New oil
New oil filter
Throttle bodie cleaned
MAF cleaned
New rocker cover gasket

A let a friend of mine drive her today, he has an Evo 8 running 402.4BHP and has all the timing stuff, like a little radar thing that records 0-60 times, gives true top speeds etc. His Evo is doing 0-60 in 4.4 seconds, my Saph Cossie is 5.6....So you kind of get how this thing works!!

Well we used it on my AGU earlier....Best we got was 13.2 and worst at 13.6......Why is she so slow? I know they are a heavy car but I would have thought the 0-60 would have been around the 9.5-10 mark?

I am feeling no Turbo push at all yet the Turbo is getting hot?

Test was done with 2 up front and 1/4 of a tank of Shell V-Power. Also test was carried out on a disused air strip.

1.8ts are slow till you map them and even then they are not fast

I would have though 9.5-10 seconds though bud......13.2 is the same as a 1985 Escort 1.3!

The standard ones on Youtube I have seen are soooo much faster than my standard one

True ,i have a agu mapped and it can keep up with a mini copper the new super charged ones.  i think its a bit down on power

So will a diagnostic machine show up anything like faulty MAF, boost leaks etc?  Excuse my knowledge here.....I mean I have been on this forum for 8 or 9 years but mostly had MK2 Golfs, nice and easy to work on so all this diagnostic stuff to me is alien!

it will read any fault codes if there is any this will give ppl an idea of were to start

Should be sub ten sec.

Scanning may bring up a code but not always.

What's the pcv system pipe work looking like? the network of pipes behind the oil dipstick? mine had holes galore when I first got it and its very common for them to perish which then loses boost, id check there.
